Since I first read your piece on future-proof ethics my views have evolved from “Not knowing about HAT” to “HAT is probably wrong/confused, even if I can’t find any dubious assumptions” and finally “HAT is probably correct, even though I do not quite understand all the consequences”.
I would probably not have engaged with HAT if not for this post, and now I consider it close in importance to VNM’s and Cox’ theorems in terms of informing my worldview.
I particularly found the veil of ignorance framing very useful to help me understand and accept HAT.
I’ll probably be coming back to this post and mulling over it to understand better what the heck I have commited to.
